Camerino Perez Perez, Unlawful Firearm Possession, Florida 2025

Grimy Times has learned that Camerino Perez Perez, 41, a/k/a ‘Squirrel,’ a Mexican citizen, has pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm and ammunition as an alien unlawfully in the United States.

The crime occurred on May 25, 2025, at a residence in Levy County, Florida. Perez Perez was holding a loaded rifle when law enforcement responded to a domestic disturbance call.

According to court documents, Perez Perez refused to comply with law enforcement’s instructions to drop the firearm and then flipped a table towards the law enforcement on scene. He was subsequently tased and detained.

After his detention, law enforcement found an additional twenty-four rounds of ammunition in his pocket. Perez Perez is prohibited from possessing a firearm and ammunition because he entered the United States illegally and was not authorized to remain in the United States.

The case involved a joint investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Levy County Sheriff’s Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Adam Hapner.

Perez Perez faces a maximum of fifteen years’ imprisonment, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. Sentencing is set for January 13, 2026, at 2 pm in Gainesville, Florida, before Chief District Court Judge Allen C. Winsor.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the government to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime.
